I wrote this song after I overheard a guy at the airport breaking-up with his girlfriend over his cell phone. He was asking himself these questions about how he felt about her and then also answering them as well. It was pretty funny situation and when he hung up with her, everyone who had been listening started clapping their hands in approval. We were happy for him as it was obvious that he was doing the right thing.

Anyway, the video is just more of me rapping the verses and trying some more combinations of video editing tricks as well as a few low-tech tricks too, like many of my videos have.

BTW, the leafy green things you see in the video are not what you are thinking. It's my indoor lettuce plant growing machine.

Anyway, thanks for watching and look for this song to appear on my new CD coming out very soon on iTunes.

Gotta Ask Myself
by J. Eric Garner

something is wrong
it doesn't feel quite right
while i'm thinking and collecting
all of my hindsight
pushing the camel through
the eye of a blind man
i would try to explain it,
but you wouldn't understand
unless you walked a mile in my sandles
too many irons in the fire and not enough handles
seeing is believing with 20/20 vision
i think it's time for me to make a decision

do i want you? (no no no no)
do i need you? (i don't think so)
would my life be better without you? (yeah yeah yeah)
do i love you? (no no no no)
are you worth it? (i don't think so)
would i be better off without you? (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
YES!

with your two-toned knuckles
in a whitened fist cage
gnashing your teeth
in an animal rage
i step back, and then
i step back some more
i'm not gonna let it happen
like it happened before
as i stare at every damn
spot on the sun
and i focus my mind
to find the right one
that will allow me
to win this game
but it's hard when
manipulator is your middle name

do i want you? (no no no no)
do i need you? (i don't think so)
would i be better off without you? (yeah yeah yeah)
do i love you? (no no no no)
are you worth it? (i don't think so)
would my life be better without you? (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
YES!

it's all becoming obvious
it's all becoming clear
the fog is lifting
the gears are shifting
and i am out of here

do i want you? (no no no no)
do i need you? (i don't think so)
would my life be better without you? (yeah yeah yeah)
do i love you? (no no no no)
are you worth it? (i don't think so)
would i be better off without you? (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
YES!
